The organic light emitting device may further include at least one layer selected from a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, an emissive layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer and an electron injection layer. For example, the organic light emitting device may have a first electrode/hole injection layer/emissive layer/second electrode structure, a first electrode/hole injection layer/hole transport layer/emissive layer/electron transport layer/second electrode structure, or a first electrode/hole injection layer/hole transport layer/emissive layer/electron transport layer/electron injection layer/second electrode structure. The organic light emitting device may also have a first electrode/single layer/emissive layer/electron transport layer/second electrode structure, or a first electrode/single layer/emissive layer/electron transport layer/electron injection layer/second electrode structure, where the single layer has both hole injection and hole transport capabilities.

Hereinafter, a method of preparing an organic light emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic showing an organic light emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention. The organic light emitting device illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a substrate, a first electrode (anode), a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emissive layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer and a second electrode (cathode).

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first electrode is first formed by depositing or sputtering a high work-function material on a substrate. The first electrode may be an anode or a cathode. The substrate can be any substrate used in conventional organic light emitting devices, and may be a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate that is waterproof and has excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness and ease of handling. Nonlimiting examples of suitable materials for forming the first electrode include ITO, IZO, SnO2, ZnO, Al, Ag, Mg, and any material with high conductivity.

Then, the hole injection layer (HIL) may be formed on the first electrode by vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, Langmuir Blodgett (LB) deposition, or the like.

When the HIL is formed using vacuum deposition, the deposition conditions may vary depending on the compound used to form the HIL, and the structure and thermal properties of the HIL to be formed. In general, however, the vacuum deposition conditions may include a deposition temperature ranging from about 100 to about 500° C., a pressure ranging from about 10−8 to about 10−3 torr, a deposition velocity ranging from about 0.01 to about 100 Å/sec, and a layer thickness ranging from about 10 Å to 5 μm.

When the HIL is formed by spin coating, the coating conditions may vary depending on the compound used to form the HIL, and the structure and thermal properties of the HIL to be formed. In general, however, the coating velocity may range from about 2000 to about 5000 rpm, and the heat treatment temperature (performed to remove solvent after coating) may range from about 80 to about 200° C.

The material used to form the HIL may be a silanylamine-based compound represented by Formula 1 or may be a material known in the art. Nonlimiting examples of suitable materials for the HIL include phthalocyanine compounds (such as a copper phthalocyanine), star-burst type amine derivatives (such as TCTA, m-MTDATA, and m-MTDAPB), polyaniline/Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (Pani/DBSA), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/Poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS), polyaniline/camphor sulfonic acid (Pani/CSA), (polyaniline)/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PANI/PSS) and similar soluble and conductive polymers.

##STR00057##

The thickness of the HIL may range from about 100 to about 10000 Å. In one embodiment, for example, the thickness of the HIL ranges from about 100 to about 100 Å. When the thickness of the HIL is within these ranges, excellent hole injecting capabilities and driving voltages of the organic light emitting device may be obtained.

Then, the hole transport layer (HTL) may be formed on the HIL by vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, LB deposition, or the like. When the HTL is formed by vacuum deposition or spin coating, deposition and coating conditions are similar to those for formation of the HIL, although the deposition and coating conditions may vary depending on the compound used to form the HTL.

The material used to form the HTL may be a silanylamine-based compound represented by Formula 1, or a material known in the art. Nonlimiting examples of suitable materials for forming the HTL include carbazole derivatives (such as N-phenylcarbazole, polyvinylcarbazole and the like), conventional amine derivatives having aromatic condensation rings (such as 4,4′-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (NPB), N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-[1,1-biphenyl]-4,4′-diamine (TPD), and N,N′-di(naphthalene-1-yl)-N,N′-diphenyl benzydine (α-NPD)), and the like.

##STR00058##

The thickness of the HTL may range from about 50 to about 1000 Å. In one embodiment, for example, the thickness of the HTL ranges from about 100 to about 600 Å. When the thickness of the HTL is within these ranges, excellent hole transporting capabilities and driving voltages of the organic light emitting device may be obtained.

Then, the emissive layer (EML) may be formed on the HTL by vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, LB, or the like. When the EML is formed by vacuum deposition or spin coating, deposition and coating conditions are similar to those for formation of the HIL, although the deposition and coating conditions may vary depending on the compound used to form the EML.

The material used to form the EML may be a silanylamine-based compound represented by Formula 1 or various light emitting materials, such as hosts and dopants that are known in the art. The dopants may be fluorescent and/or phosphorescent dopants that are known in the art.

Nonlimiting examples of suitable host materials include Alq3, 4,4′-N,N′-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP), poly(n-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), distyrylarylene (DSA), or IDE215 from Idemitsu Co.

Nonlimiting examples of suitable fluorescent dopants include IDE102, IDE105 and IDE118 from Idemitsu Co. Nonlimiting examples of suitable phosphorescent dopants include Ir(ppy)3 (green, where ppy is 2-phenylpyridine) (green), (4,6-F2 ppy)2Irpic, TEB002 from Covion Co., platinum(II) octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP), compounds represented by Formula 5 below, Firpic, and red phosphorescent dopant RD 61 from UDC Co.

##STR00059##

The amount of the dopant may range from about 0.1 to 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the material used to form the EML (i.e., based on 100 parts by weight of the host and the dopant). In one embodiment, for example, the amount of the dopant ranges from about 0.5 to about 12 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the material used to form the EML. When the amount of the dopant is greater than about 0.1 parts by weight, the effect achieved by adding the dopant is sufficient. Also, when the amount of the dopant is less than about 20 parts by weight, fluorescence or phosphorescence quenching may be prevented.

The thickness of the EML may range from about 100 to about 1000 Å. In one embodiment, for example, the thickness of the EML ranges from about 200 to about 600 Å. When the thickness of the EML is within these ranges, excellent emitting abilities of the EML, and driving voltages of the organic light emitting device may be obtained.

When the EML includes a phosphorescent dopant, a hole blocking layer (HBL) (not shown) may be formed on the EML to prevent diffusion of triplet excitons or holes into the electron transport layer. Nonlimiting examples of suitable materials for forming the HBL include oxadiazole derivatives, triazole derivatives, phenanthroline derivatives, Balq, and BCP.

The thickness of the HBL may range from about 50 to about 1000 Å. In one embodiment, for example, the thickness of the HBL ranges from about 100 to about 300 Å. When the thickness of the HBL is within these ranges, excellent hole blocking abilities of the HBL and driving voltages of the organic light emitting device may be obtained.

Then, the electron transport layer (ETL) may be formed on the HBL by vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, or the like. When the ETL is formed by vacuum deposition or spin coating, deposition and coating conditions are similar to those for formation of the HIL, although the deposition and coating conditions may vary depending on the compound used to form the ETL.

Nonlimiting examples of suitable materials for forming the ETL include quinoline derivatives (for example, tris(8-quinolinorate)aluminum (Alq3)), TAZ, and the like.

The thickness of the ETL may range from about 100 to about 1000 Å. In one embodiment, for example, the thickness of the ETL ranges from about 100 to about 500 Å. When the thickness of the ETL is within these ranges, excellent electron transporting abilities of the ETL and driving voltages of the organic light emitting device may be obtained.

Then, the electron injection layer (EIL) may be formed on the ETL for example, by vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, or the like. The EIL is formed of a material that allows easy injection of electrons from a cathode.

Nonlimiting examples of suitable materials for forming the EIL include LiF, NaCl, CsF, Li2O, BaO, and the like. Deposition and coating conditions are similar to those for formation of the HIL, although the deposition and coating conditions may vary depending on the material used to form the EIL.

The thickness of the EIL may range from about 1 to about 100 Å. In one embodiment, for example, the thickness of the EIL ranges from about 5 to about 90 Å. When the thickness of the EIL is within these ranges, excellent electron injection abilities of the EIL and driving voltages of the organic light emitting device may be obtained.

Finally, the second electrode can be formed on the EIL by vacuum deposition, sputtering, or the like. The second electrode can be used as a cathode or an anode. The material used to form the second electrode may be a low work-function metal, alloy, electrically conductive compound, or a combination thereof. Nonlimiting examples of suitable materials for the second electrode include Li, Mg, Al, Al—Li, Ca, Mg—In, Mg—Ag, and the like. In addition, a transparent cathode formed of ITO or IZO can be used to produce a front surface light emitting device.
